Ham-let 3000611 Compression Male Branch Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3000611 is a compression tube male branch tee designed for fluid and gas distribution systems requiring a reliable three-way connection. This fitting combines two compression ends with a male NPT branch outlet, allowing a main compression line to branch off to a threaded port in a single fitting. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in demanding environments including chemical, hydraulic, and instrumentation applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting where corrosion resistance and leak-tight compression connections are required.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications involving tubing runs that require a branch takeoff with a male threaded connection. Typical installations include instrumentation panels, compressed air systems, refrigeration lines, and process fluid systems where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The 3/8 inch thread size makes it compatible with standard 3/8 inch tubing and NPT-threaded components commonly found in these systems.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Compression x Compression x MNPT end connections for versatile integration into existing tubing runs
• 3/8 inch thread size fits standard 3/8 inch compression tubing and NPT ports
• Male NPT branch outlet allows direct connection to threaded female ports without additional adapters
• Single-piece tee body reduces potential leak points compared to multi-fitting assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch compression tubing with male NPT branch connections in 316 stainless steel configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread connections. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant on the MNPT connection in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
